    Thanks for this sermon Kelvin. I now know more about spikenard than I did (which was nothing much!). And I also like the Gandhi reference.

  • Seeing and hearing

    Its funny the difference that video can make to a conversation. I found myself earlier this week engaged in a meeting via skype. Now, I’ve used skype plenty of times for chatting to friends, but this was the first time I’ve used it for a businessy meeting. That kind of thing clearly can’t replace all…

  • Concert for Christchurch – Running Total

    Did I happen to mention the current running total raised from last night’s Concert for Christchurch? Well, £4155 is pretty good going for one evening of fundraising, isn’t it? Could be more to come in yet.
